Read our privacy policy Sheffield Wednesday chairman Dejphon Chansiri has claimed manager Darren Moore left the club after asking for a new contract four times bigger than his existing one. But I said I was happy to discuss a new contract and asked Darren to send me the details and his proposals so I can study them. “After a few days, he sent me his proposals for his contract and I asked Darren to rethink and said, ‘Are you sure?’. I said I would help Darren by announcing his departure via mutual consent because that will help for the future.” The Owls have yet to appoint Moore’s replacement, with Dean Smith among those linked with the vacancy.
